Graduation!

Howdy Gang,
Well we never thought it would happen but I am graduating from Bethany College! That's right May 21st at 3:00pm I will RUN across the stage and grab that piece of paper that has eluded me for the last 11 years! We will also be moving to Nebraska where I will be the Coordinator of Congregational Relations for Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries. Who'd of thought that I would ever be in Camping Ministry! This truly is my passion and we are excited for a new start in a wonderful environment. I have been interning at the same place for the last year, and the people I will be working with are the best in the world. They have taken me under their wings and taught me more than I ever would have thought possible. I will have to of course change the name of this blog since we will no longer be Lindsborgians, so I will have to come up with something new! I hope all is well with you all and I hope to hear from everyone soon. A prayer request, My Dad left on Monday and will be deploying with the United States Air Force to Iraq. He is serving his country and doing an incredible ministry to the troops over there. he truly exemplifies what it means to be a credit. Pray for peace, and all who strive for it.
Peace,
Ben

Bath Time

Hello All,
Things in Lindsborg are going pretty good these days. The Swedes are all coming out of their homes to rake leaves and do all the preparations for spring. David, Janielle, and I are all doing well, and preparing for not only spring, but a future outside of Lindsborg. So on top of the raking leaves, and dusting off the mower, we are also packing boxes and all that fun stuff! These pictures are of David taking a little soak the other night and we thought they were fun! The other two people there are Beka and Tyler some very good friends of ours (Beka is really David's girlfriend!). I hope all is well with everyone and remember to take a walk outside and feel that sunshine on your face, it always makes my day!
Peace,
Ben

Is it Spring?

Hello All,
Life in Lindsborg is decieving for this time of year! It was in the 60's last week and will be in the upper 70's this week! Life is good though and the beautiful weather gives us the opportunity to get David outside and playing at the park. We are blessed to have such a cool park so close to the house! Other than that life is normal and school is starting to near the end! I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying the incredible winter!
Peace,
Ben

Home Again!

Dear Friends,
Well I am home from a 6 week training trip to Alabama. It is good to be back here in good old Lindsborg, Kansas. I went through the Chaplains Service Institute in Montgomery, Alabama. While I was down in the South I did have a few adventures though. I spent one weekend hiking on the Appalachian Trail in Georgia, and I spent some time in Pensacola Florida on the Beach. It was a good trip, but I am glad to be home with my Family. I hope you are all doing great things, and I hope to talk with you soon.
Peace,
Ben

Da Boyz

Howdy from the Konza Prarie,
Well Dad and I went out for a great hike on New Year's Eve and had a great time. We hiked about 5 miles on the Konza prarie just outside of Manhattan Kansas. We have decided to find a bunch of similar hikes and make this a habit. If any one has suggestions of good places to go just let me know. The other pictures are of David's new facial expression. He just gets cuter and cuter every day! Happy New Year to you all and I hope to see or hear from you soon.
Peace,
Ben

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone,
Well the Fultons celebrated the Birth of Christ as an entire family. The Wise 5 and the Eddy 2 all showed up and we had a ball. Santa Claus showed up and surprised the kids, and David almost stole his beard! We had a great time and enjoyed eachother's company. We are keeping busy here in Lindsborg, preparing for one more semester of school, and a possible move to God knows where! We pray it will be a place with great people and a nice neighborhood to raise David in. Other than that all is normal around here. We look forward to a few visitors in January and we are also looking forward to our college friends returning from all the ends of the country! Take care and have a happy new year!
Peace,
Ben

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

Greetings Friends,
Well I'm sorry it has been a while since my last post, but life has been pretty hectic around Lindsborg this month. I finished up with the Fall semester at Bethany College and we only have one semester left! David continues to grow and learn new things every day. To explain a few of the pictures, today the 17th of December we are in the process of getting up to 9 inches of snow! For those of you that know me well know that one of my favorite things in the world is lots of snow! I was out doing an initial run of shoveling on the drive way and Janielle and David came out to see what was up. Life is good for us and we continue to be blessed with great friends and family. Merry Christmas to you all.
Peace,
Ben
